Presentl... moreok mate.. one more thing.. would it make any difference if a buy the phone from a non-authorised dealer? sony ericsson company stores are selling this phone for 13k INR, while I can get it from other stores at 12k INR..

I have this phone for weeks now, all of the specs written here are true. Its a pretty amazing phone except about the battery. I just wonder why it doesn't last long whenever i play music or text. I charge it in full everyday, but still the battery indicator shows less than hundred percent after charging. Is it because of the widgets on my screen? Please help me figure this out. Also the camera consumes a lot of of power.

AnonD-37620, 03 Feb 2012hey guys.. I visited a few retailers yesterday(Chandigarh, India).. some of them said that the... moreYou WILL find a warranty certificate inside the box. But what they told You is right. Presently bill is the important valid document for warranty at SE ASC. Even if you produce warranty card, it should be accompanied by the bill. But the bill alone can stand.

However the retailer will not have objection in signing the warranty certificate in the box, if you insist on that.

And if You get the mini with Android 2.3.3, You will be notified soon about the 2.3.4 update. I recommend You do it by PC companion rather than over air.

AnonD-443, 03 Feb 2012s I remember, you'll be told in the next screen about what all you're gonna loose by the updat... morehey guys.. I visited a few retailers yesterday(Chandigarh, India).. some of them said that the warranty card isn't in the box, and that the warranty is applicable and valid if u take along with you the original bill(they said they'll do the billing online... dunno what the hell they meant) ,so there is no need of warranty card for warranty.. Is it really so? Or are the retailers foxing things up??
And could you please let me know the manufacturing date of the Mini that haven't encountered any problems? Coz I heard that a new batch of phones was shipped out with all calibrations done at the manufacturer-end, and that this batch of phones isn't facing any problems whatsoever.

But my question is, will that system update delete all my files and downloaded apps?s I remember, you'll be told in the next screen about what all you're gonna loose by the update. That is why I replied so.
Anyhow you would have got the answer now from another post below.

Memory card files are safe. Another application for backing up downloaded apps (if you doubt you'll loose them) is 'App backup and restore'. It can backup/restore in batch. Also it automatically backup an app when it is installed(option) and override new versions as updates come so that you can revert to the older version if you like(option).
These apps can only back up the installation files, not data(otherwise root required). But almost all android apps have option to backup data if any to memory card. Hope you'll make use of that.
